[quote name='andydye' timestamp='1386843178' post='2305156'] Indeedy mate, it's a pleasure every time I play through it! ...and a real shame that Dave's just not got the interest in them to warrant making another batch! They're unspeakably amazing! [/quote] I was impressed by how much effort he put into those. I never heard one but you could tell there was no penny-pinching going on and their external appearance was as good as anything on the market.

[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' timestamp='1386787380' post='2304581'] Why not set up your own company making cabs? You'd then get every chance to show us how it should be done. [/quote] You don't need to be a TV chef to complain that your steak's burnt. Anyway, EBS was speaking as a consumer and so is perfectly well qualified to express an opinion.

Just what it says.

By the same token, if you're selling something very specialist at the moment, don't start it off at 99p.

I got over £100 worth of loudspeaker drive units for two 99p bids this week. I bid higher, but nobody else bothered. Pre-Christmas is probably a good time for it. As long as you're not after an X-Box or an iPod, that is.

Nailsea is nearly in Scotland! You have to remember, it's all cross-country down here in ciderland.

Now that is harsh.....

Replacement driver for Ampeg BA300 115
stevie replied to bassintheface's topic in Repairs and Technical
That combo looks like it would benefit from a better quality driver than a Chinese Eminence. One of the first problems you have to contend with when upgrading drivers is that the better ones have cast chassis, which are larger than the cheaper pressed steel chassis which you probably have at the moment. There are plenty of pressed steel chassis that will do the trick, but if you're serious about fitting a top quality driver you have to be prepared to do a bit (not a lot) of woodwork. Then it's a matter of measuring up the interior of your cab, figuring out what will work, and deciding how much you'd like to spend. A pressed steel chassis will cost between £80 and £100, or up to about £200 for a cast chassis neodymium driver. -
Crumbling foam doesn't work at all - and it makes a bloody mess of the inside of the cabinet. So, Alex, taking an easy pop at manufacturers who don't fit any (and who therefore don't charge for it) is hardly the right attitude.

This thread should be called The Barefaced BAF Bash.

Indeed. We had a great, inexpensive lunch beforehand.

Remind me not to leave stuff at this guys house!

I'll certainly try to make it again. I enjoyed the last bash.

I've been paying £50 every six months for the last ten years to have ours tuned. Worth remembering if you're buying a 'real' piano.

What?

[u][b]QSC USA 850 - 850 watt power amplifier[/b][/u] - £79 only This is the series of amplifiers that originally made QSC's worldwide reputation. Beautifully built (in the USA), they were made to go on forever, are ultra-reliable but fixable should the need arise. This one is 3u high and very compact (fits in a shallow 19" case), which makes it much easier to pick up and carry than an amp of standard depth. Brief specs as follows: Output 4 ohms 425 watts per channel 8 ohms 255 watts per channel Bridgeable into 8 ohms Frequency Response: 20Hz to 20kHz, +0/-1dB, 1 watt Damping Factor: Greater than 200 Noise: 104dB below rated output (A weighted) Cooling: Two-speed fan, rear-to-front air flow. Load Protection: On/off muting. DC-fault protection Weight: 15kg Dimensions: Standard 19" rack mounting faceplate Height: 5.25"(13.3cm). Chassis Depth: 9.5" (24.1cm) These are being used quite a bit for home hi-fi and theatre (thanks to a very quiet fan), especially in the US, where used prices seem to be higher than here. Pickup welcome, or delivery at cost. -
I see that these are up to his usual standard.
-
The switches don't make a huge amount of difference, although it's audible. They are also extremely fiddly. The output on the P-bass one I had was extremely hot, although it didn't lack treble like most hot pickups. The batteries last for years.

Behringer BLE100 compressor for a tenner - NOW SOLD
stevie replied to stevie's topic in Effects For Sale
Sorry Gareth, it's now sold. -
Interested in the speaker stands. Delivery? -
Looks like I was lucky with the TN1230s then. I got them as 4-ohm versions when Lean were selling them for silly money. I did consider them for bass guitar but that's not really their forte. Your 18Sound compression drivers look really nice, Lawrence, and the 1086 is well regarded. I reckon you'll have a very impressive system when you're finished. What bass/mid did you choose in the end?
-
It's a posh greenhouse. I'd no idea there were any poshos on here. [edit for superfluous hyphen]

This Behringer BLE100 compressor is a copy of the Boss LMB-3. Having had both, I can tell you that they both sound and work exactly the same. There are some scratches to the screen printing, but otherwise it's in good condition and works perfectly. It also does not add noise, distortion or any other nasties to your sound - it's quiet and transparent whether it's switched in or out. Compression doesn't get any cheaper than this, but you'll have to go here if you want a photo: [url="http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/BLE100.aspx"]http://www.behringer...cts/BLE100.aspx[/url]

TC launched a range of bass equipment out of nowhere a few years ago that was very successful and continues to be so. I certainly didn't notice the marketplace being flooded with second hand TC gear.

I'm with you all the way, James. The songs seem fresh to me even after all these years. Jeff Lynn's last album was really good, also. I'm afraid he's not fashionable though.
